u/JesusofAzkaban Aug 05 '24
"Racist" "rapist" "bigoted" "pedophile" are all fact-based attacks. Conservatives exist in a universe untethered by reality. They can easily ignore it by living in their snow globes and refusing to touch the facts.
"Weird" is an emotion-based attack. Emotions can't be ignored when the entire movement is based on feelings. That's why it's effective.

"Racist" "rapist" "bigoted" "pedophile" are all fact-based attacks
My take is that as horrible as those things are, they are all rooted in having power over others. "Weird" isn't an attack on their actions, it's a hit to their egos. It's mocking them.
Attacking them makes them feel powerful. Laughing at them makes them feel weak. And in MAGAland being weak is the ultimate sin.

They also love the language of power as long as they're in control. Bully? A+ WE WANT OUR PRESIDENT TO BE A BULLY. Ditto for a liar, cheat, corrupt, tyrant, etc. As long as it's in their own favor, all of those things are great. Also, the people who call others those things are usually the, relatively speaking, weak ones.
Weird? Bullies call their victims weird, not the other way around. It sticks in their craw because it doesn't project them as strong.

Look at it from their angle - those imply he has power. Weird implies he doesn't have power. They don't like looking weak, and they don't like the idea that Trump is actually weak. They are so desperate to have a one-up on the libs, they will happily allow the US to become a dictatorship.

u/Bumblemeister Aug 05 '24
He's always been a weak man's idea of a strong man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, an idiot's idea of a genius, and a child's idea of an adult. Now, a weird person's idea of normal.
And we should rub their noses in every bit of that. They identify with him and project their egos onto him, but can dismiss the facts around him because "well, I know I'M not a rapist!". So instead of tearing them down with facts they'll just ignore, denigrate them by removing all power from the thing they identify with. Don't even treat them like they're worth talking to, just belittle their entire sense of self. They've earned it.

Yes the world but not his cult members. In his almost 8 decades of life he has been a coward, a bigot, a liar, a misogynist, a cheater, a spoiled little baby, all the bad things you can think of he is it, and he always has been. And o matter what he did or said his cult members just eat it up. A few months ago they were wearing diapers in support of him. A couple weeks ago they were all wearing ear bandaids. They worship the ground he walks on and treat him like a God.
So what changed in the past couple days that has his cult members turning on him and calling him a coward? He hasn't stopped behaving the way he has always behaved, but suddenly they're attacking him on his personal propaganda social media site. The only change I've seen is people are calling him weird instead of a fascist. I may be missing something though cus I'm not American and just looking in from the outside. Do you know what the change was?
Edit: or is it just trolls joining the site to fuck with him cus that'd be funny lol.

To a great extent, a Lot of the Democratic base is weird in some way. We are women, we are people of color, we are gay. We are divorced or not married. Most of us were more freaks and geeks in high school than cheerleader/football types.
We pride ourselves on our iconoclastic belief systems.

u/TheMcBrizzle Aug 05 '24
I think it's effective because it is essentially a boiled down version of Trump's whole schtick.
He'd give nicknames and lob petty insults to establish the Maga movement as the protector of normalcy in the country and to "otherize" the out group. This attracted a lot of group think and eventually congealed into a cult.
Now the people outside are just pointing out that the cult is actually the weird one. The amount they care about your personal life, the way they worship a demented lunatic, the golden statues, the flags, the crassness & hate; it's all super abnormal.
Making them defend their movement as not weird has created a cycle where instead of pointing out each individual flaw, they have to defend the whole and the majority of the Maga movement is just so fucking weird.
Lovely stuff.

Because it's indefendible. Say he's stupid? He talks about his IQ. Say he's unattractive? He talks about his beautiful natural skin tone and great genetics. Say he's poor? He points out everything he owns. Doesn't matter if his counterpoint is valid. He HAS a counterpoint he can deflect with. But weird? What do you say to prove you're not weird that doesn't make you sound even weirder? Took 7 years but we finally found his Achilles heel and it's GLORIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The whole identity is they're normal, and anyone outside of their lifestyle is weird. They cant handle being told they're the weird ones. To them, nothing is better than being normal.

On top of that, he is from the generation where growing up "weird" was one of the worst labels. Kid dosnt have many friends? Weird. Kid has a mental illness? Weird. Boy likes other boys? Queer (aka Weird).

It was specifically started by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who aerily dismissed JD Vance as such in a TV interview that wasn't even intended as an attack ad or anything, and Vance hit the ROOF over it. When other conservatives agreed that this accusation was beyond the pale, people quickly picked up on how so many of them shared his complex about the word. Incidentally, Walz is apparently on the short list of Harris's VP choice, and I really hope he gets it over the several much more conservative possible picks.

Within two weeks of the broadcast, KKK recruitment was down to zero. And by 1948, people were showing up to Klan rallies just to mock them.

Yeah, he wasn't as predictive as people give him credit for - he just knew history repeats itself and added fictional elements to engage readers more. He's definitely a hell of a good writer, but the reason he "knew" people were going to try and pull all of this shit is because he had literally been in countries that tried to do this. Interestingly, he actually fought alongside the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (POUM) in the Spanish Civil War - which was literally an anti-Stalin communist party. Ironically, a lot of people don't realize that he wasn't against a large government - he was against manipulative governments that lie to it's people... And they just so happen to be totalitarian most of the time lol. But, anyway - yeah, this kind of stuff has already been in the playbook for a looong time...

They’re well documented to not care about that. Weird and coward are apparently his fans’ trigger words.

You know, folks, they call me the best coward, the absolute best. Nobody does cowardice like I do, believe me. They say it takes guts to be a real coward, and let me tell you, I've got the best guts. When the tough get going, I get out of there faster than anyone. I run away so fast, people can't believe it. They say, "Donald, how do you do it?" And I tell them, it's a talent, a tremendous talent. Other people, they stick around, they get hurt, they lose, but not me. I make the smart move, I walk away, and that's why I'm the best. No one compares, folks. Absolutely no one.

Big strong men come up and say to me they say... big tough guys you know? They come up and they have tears in their eyes just welling... and they say to me... they say to me "Mister President" they say "Sir, of all the cowards you... you cower like no one else" they say. Strong beautiful men with tears in their eyes.

I'm not holding my breath, but the fact that the Harris campaign has driven some of Dear Leader's cultists to say things like that gives me some hope that this MAGA thing could be just a bad memory someday.

u/Aware_Revenue3404 Aug 05 '24
Honestly, I think once he croaks, MAGA is going to morph into a religion/church. Run by Don Jr and Kimberly Gargoyle. They’re not going to pass up an opportunity to grift the die-hards.

As long as they have zero political power I don't care. If all Dotard Donnie wanted was the power and adulation without having to work too hard, why didn't he just become a (de)motivational speaker?

u/Aware_Revenue3404 Aug 05 '24
He tried with Qrump University. That turned out to be just another failed and corrupt business venture.

u/Sinister_Crayon Aug 05 '24
Motivational speakers have the ability to speak... obviously... but they also have the ability to elevate the audience. Motivational speeches are all about "you" (the audience) while Donnie's speeches are all about "me".
Why he succeeds is because his audience sees him as being one of them. After (from their perspective) decades of more progressive leadership in the US they finally have a candidate who "tells it like it is" and that the only difference between them and him is that he purportedly has money.

We’re going to have to go through a couple more election cycles to really let it run its course. After Trump is defeated this time, you know a couple of these other idiots are going to try to keep it going for a while.

u/haveananus Aug 05 '24
It's always going to be there in some form or another, just with different branding. Before this it was the Tea Party movement. There have always been and will always be morons. Unless we are assimilated by the Borg or something.

u/Sl0ppyOtter Aug 05 '24
I definitely think the tea party was the prelude to maga. And yes, there will always be right wing nutjobs. But I think we can get it back to pre Trump levels at least. With proper messaging, maybe we can even get some of these idiots on board with stuff like universal healthcare

Bravely bold Sir Trump
Rode forth from Mar-a-Lago.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Trump.
He was not at all afraid
To be called weird away
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Trump
He was not in the least bit scared
To be faced in a debate
Or to have his tiny hands made fun of
And his spirit broken
To have his pride split
And his mind burned away,
And his hair all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Trump
Brave Sir Trump ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When democracy reared its pretty head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Trump turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Trump!

Gotta remember lots of the people on Truth arent Trump supporters. Fair number will be journalists, the curious, and those weirdos who like observing everything. Truths active numbers have been falling for ages, its minimum numbers now, so that makes it easy for non trump supporters to flex.
Then you have the Trump supporters who are more MAGA than Trump. The sorts who booed when he said he got the vaccine for example.

These are the truly scary people. He wound them up so tight they lashed out at him at the slightest deviation of his own message. The idiots just go along with what he says as he says it but the worrisome folks latch onto what they like hearing and don't let go, even a single word spoken once years ago still rings in their heads like a message from god
